I just received this for Xmas and I want to know if it is normal to look through the finder and see everything upside down. Why would anyone want to see something upside down? Is this normal. Do Refractor telescopes see things normal? Please help!

Thanks so much!

Hi

All reflectors produce upside down images. This is normal and, in fact, many star and moon maps are printed upside down to accommodate this feature.

Refractors with diagonals produce upright, but reversed right to left images.
